Redman and Devin The Dude will make better weed songs hands down.
Have you ever heard Buddha Lovaz, Fried Day, Bud Smokers Only, Smokin Buddha, Smoke Wit Me? Hell Krayzie Bone is going 2 release a Bones Greatest Weed Songs Cd on his website. Trust me when I say no one can touch them when it comes 2 songs about weed. Shit If you want me 2 post up some of their weed songs I will.

The parties I've gone to they don't really play music for dancing, they just throw on what people like.  I'll hear Mobb Deep, Outkast, Dr. Dre...but never Bone Thugs.
Like I said maybe where your from they don't like Bone but almost everyone I know likes Bone Thugs.

Not all music is made 2 dance 2 and Bone Thugs don't make club music. How tha hell do you dance 2 Mo Murda, Buddah Luvaz, or Die Die Die?

The parties I've gone to they don't really play music for dancing, they just throw on what people like.  I'll hear Mobb Deep, Outkast, Dr. Dre...but never Bone Thugs.  Just an example of how I don't notice anyone giving a fuck about them.


WTF!!

 ::)

one-hit wonder might be a bit exaggerated, but really, this board is full of BTNH fans and in MY real life (I of course know I can´t talk about yours), I´m the person caring about BTNH most by just liking them a bit. Everybody else either doesn´t know them or finds them boring and I´m not talkingh about people who learnt about hiphop from GRODT and could name about a dozen artists. Like I said, I´m talking bout fans of Little Brother, Pharoahe Monch, Mobb Deep, Non-Phixion, Cunninlynguists, Masta Ace, even MC Eiht...lot of different stuff.

Top 100 maybe, but top 50, really, find some non-Bone fan (as in just a hiphop fan in general) putting E.1999 top 10. Even top 50 won´t be that easy.

Crucial Conflict and Do Or Die are so trifling, they don´t make a point for somebody having had a huge impact. 3-6 had an own style, they had some similarities to BTNH, but they´d already had that sound on their oldest stuff that was released before "Mystic Stylez" which came out the same year as "E.1999". Saying they just bit BTNH is "sum serious hating" as well.

I don´t know what clubs y´all go to. But good DJ´s keep making fun of colleagues who start the party at 9.30 pm by putting on "Ante Up". DJ´s don´t waste the hype-up-the-crowd stuff in the beginning, the first phase is a warm-up and the last phase is a slow-down. Hence, there IS time for slower and less "danceable" material, at the time people are usually just chilling...I´ve seen it like that in Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, that´s the way a party usually goes. So, if the DJ´s rather put on a Hieroglyphics song than a BTNH one at that time, that does say something

And again, I like BTNH

Yeah they had alot of hits plus other classic tracks like No Surrender, Foe Tha Love of Money,Thug Luv,Notorius Thugs, and no one can touch them when in comes 2 tracks about weed.

They can't be too big of hits, I've only heard of one song there ("Notorious Thugs") and I don't even think that was a single.  Redman and Devin The Dude will make better weed songs hands down.

so you listed all these albums most people havent even heard of... then you go on and say you havent even heard e.1999 ? but you listened to a whole lot of bullshit unknown albums ?? wtf man.

people that dont like hip-hop i have introduced to bone and they went out and baught their cd's.... what does that tell you ?

p.S: notorious thugs is off "life after death". and devin tha dude or red-man cannot make better weed songs...

LMAO, Redman has at least two albums better than E.1999. Its an ok record, but as Knuckles said, none of them are great rappers, and there production isn't that great either, its an ok record to chill to, but it doesn't have anything on there that would make it anywhere near Top 50 material. I'd even put stuff like The Twinz - Conversation in front of E1999.

Are you kidding me? What's up with dubcc underrating Bone Thugs? Even on pop forums they get more appreciation.

Most people that listen to hip-hop have heard of these albums.  I never said I haven't heard e.1999.  hahaha @ "bullshit unknown albums"

It doesn't tell me much actually.

I know that's where it's from.  They have nothing on Redman or Devin.

Are you kidding me? What's up with dubcc underrating Bone Thugs? Even on pop forums they get more appreciation.

dubcc is overrating bone, I've never noticed them get this much love anywhere else.

I gotta say, musically E. 1999 Eternal is a great album. Thing is, this list wasn't just about music. It's true, I had to teach my friends about BTNH, in fact most of them didn't even know about Tha Crossroads. They recognised the track from a while ago, but they didn't really know it that well. I thought that was a big hit back in 1996, but hey, it seems like it wasn't that much of a mindblowing record that people still remember. In fact, the only BTNH fans I ever saw in real life, were a bunch of wigger geeks on my vacation in Spain. The same ones who were bumping their Spacekees cd all week. Ask the dutch people. Need I say more? Their taste in rap music was totally messed up, and they were the only Bone Thugs fans I ever saw.

When you're talking about weed songs, four artists come to my mind. Cypress Hill, Redman, Devin and Bone Thugs. I can't say Bone Thugs are unfuckwittable when it comes to weed songs. Hits from the bong, How to roll a blunt or I wanna get high... The only BTNH weed song that can compete is Smokin' Buddah.

Question though... I don't think his records are all that great, and I think as an emcee he's mad overrated, but where did Eminem go on your list? Did he just not make it with SSLP and MMLP?

Fuck the hating though, I am really grateful to Knuckles for introducing me to Main Source. Some others I'm glad he hooked me up with, are Black Moon, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Brand Nubian and Kool G Rap & DJ Polo. Major props on that! I'm just glad all of those made the list, no matter how small they may have been in the mainstream.

One thing I still hate... I've been waiting for ages for "Criminal minded" to pop up in the list. That album is extremely hard to get in the stores these days and I never heard it... Just as I went on a vacation, the day after I left Knuckles hooked the album up. Of course, I missed the hookup  :-\
